The this year’s two-day conference will get together international leading experts from the M2M-world. Talking about M2M bring in our minds a wide range of applications in a plenty of industrial sectors. M2M – applications are also part of our every day life and our conference would like to use this opportunity to point out a raising awareness about M2M-consumer solutions such as home automation, pet and personal tracking, M2M for Healthcare. The rapidly emerging M2M (machine-to-machine) market is already a $50bn business with strong growth prospects. Traditionally a B2B (Business-to-Business) solutions/services market, a new report by specialist research firm Beecham Research predicts the coming of age of a growing Consumer market for M2M products and services that will rapidly catch up to the traditional business. According to Beecham Research, M2M is all about creating new service opportunities, even when it comes to consumer products. Another key topic that will be emphasized is the Automated Meter management. This technology is being introduced on a large scale in various European countries and this conference will be presenting concrete examples from different countries. Automated meter reading offers the possibility to collect automatically data from energy metering devices, transferring that data to a central database for billing. This saves employee trips, and means that billing can be based on actual consumption rather than on an estimate based on previous consumption, giving customers better control of their use of electric energy, gas usage, or water consumption. Considering the increasing costs of energy, this technology offers to the consumer the payment of a realistic consumption. This M2M-conference will emphasize the growing importance of Smart Metering in Europe, presenting experiences from various European countries among them Italy, Sweden and the Netherlands. The latest news in the transportation and toll collect sector will be analyzed by European leading companies and to conclude the leading M2M-research company Beecham Research will be presenting some current global market forecasts. |
